Frequently asked questions

How much does the Audencia Master in Management cost?
€38,250 for the full two-year programme at the September 2027 intake — a total, not a per-year rate. Audencia's own tuition table settles the basis: its columns read Programs / Duration / Tuition Fees, and the Master in Management (Grande Ecole) row is "2 years / €36,000 / €500 per year", which is the September 2026 price. So the two figures the school publishes are two intakes, not an annual figure and a total. On top of tuition sit mandatory service fees of €500 per academic year — which Audencia says do not apply to CROUS scholarship recipients or apprentices — and France's CVEC student-life contribution of €105 for 2026-2027, which every student in initial training at a French institution owes before enrolling. That puts the two-year floor at roughly €39,460 before any award. Note that the Master in Management is NOT available in work-study (alternance) format: Audencia states it is a full-time programme, and the employer-funded route applies to several of its MSc and Mastère Spécialisé degrees instead. Merit scholarships of up to approximately 30% of tuition, an early-application discount and a CROUS-level fee adjustment for students fiscally domiciled in France are the funding routes that do apply.
Where does Audencia rank for the Master in Management?
Audencia placed 25th worldwide in the Financial Times Masters in Management 2025, with a weighted three-year salary of approximately US $92,000 and a 100% employment rate at three months. In the QS Business Masters Rankings (Management) 2026 it placed 34th globally.
When is the Audencia MiM application deadline?
For the September 2027 intake Audencia states that admissions are open until June 2027 but "may close early if class is full", and strongly advises applying before the early-application deadline of 31 January 2027 because seats are limited. Treat 31 January 2027 as the operative deadline and June as a ceiling. Applicants with a degree obtained outside France apply through Audencia's International Recruitment Service (international@audencia.com) rather than the domestic parallel-admission route.
What salary can Audencia MiM graduates expect?
There are two distinct figures to note. The Financial Times 2025 ranking reports a weighted three-year salary of approximately US $92,000 — a standardised metric comparing salaries three years after graduation. Separately, Audencia's own reported average annual salary for the 2025 cohort is approximately €47,000, reflecting earlier-career earnings as self-reported by the school.
What careers do Audencia graduates pursue?
Audencia reports a 100% employment rate within three months of graduation. Graduates enter roles across management consulting, finance, marketing, and sustainability-focused functions. The programme's longstanding CSR and sustainability specialism positions alumni for roles in responsible business and ESG. Detailed employer and industry breakdowns are not officially published by the school.

  • Audencia — Master in Management (Grande École) overview. FEE BASIS CHECKED 2026-09-06 (P36) — NARROWED, NOT SETTLED, and the figure was deliberately not moved. The page has rolled to the 2027-2028 cycle (start 1 September 2027) and states 'School fees 38,250€' against an entry point of BAC +3 over '2 years + 1 optional gap year'. It still does not say whether that is annual or the two-year total, which is the open question E7a-audencia-fee-basis. One new piece of evidence, and it is only suggestive: on the same page the service charge IS explicitly qualified — '€500 per academic year' — while the €38,250 beside it carries no such qualifier, which is how a page usually distinguishes a programme total from an annual rate. That is an inference from silence, not a statement by Audencia, so feesNumeric stays at the sourced €36,000 two-year figure and the profile continues to state both. The admission-and-funding page was also fetched this run and publishes no fee figure at all. — SETTLED 2026-09-07 (E7a-audencia-fee-basis, closed). The basis is the two-year total, and it is answered by Audencia's own table rather than by inference: see the financing source below. Re-read here 2026-09-07, this page's summary block states 'Entry level: BAC +3 / Total duration: 2 years + 1 gap year / Start Date: 2027-09-01' beside 'School fees 38,250€'. So €38,250 and €36,000 were never annual-versus-total — they are two intakes, and feesNumeric now carries the September 2027 one ↗ — Audencia Business School
  • Audencia — Scholarships and funding for international students. ROUTE RECOVERED 2026-09-07 (P16b): the recorded /en/student-experience/financing URL was not a dead end, it had moved — the live page is /en/student-experience/financing-assistance, and the programme overview's own #funding link points at it. It publishes the fee table two previous runs went looking for, with the basis stated in a column: 'Programs / Duration / Tuition Fees / Service Fees — Master in Management (Grande Ecole) / 2 years / €36,000 / €500/year', alongside 1-Year MSc €19,400, 2-Year MSc €29,800, Global BBA €36,000 and Bachelor in Management €30,750. Its FAQ restates it in words — 'At €36,000 for the full two-year Master in Management…'. Also read here and carried onto this profile: service fees 'do not apply to CROUS scholarship recipients or apprentices'; Audencia 'adjusts its fees according to your CROUS level'; the Master in Management (Grande Ecole) is NOT available in work-study (alternance) format, unlike several Audencia MSc and Mastère Spécialisé programmes; and tuition may be paid in instalments by arrangement with admissions. The page's own call to action still reads 'Apply now — September 2026 intake open', which is why its €36,000 is read as the 2026 figure against the programme page's 2027 one.
